Mexico demands investigation into ICE killings
🇲🇽 MEXICO — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has formally requested that the U.S. open criminal investigations into recent fatal shootings involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The call follows the identification of a Colombian national killed during agency operations, prompting human rights groups like the Haitian Bridge Alliance to demand an independent probe. Mexican officials are seeking accountability for the actions of U.S. federal agents on their soil.
The request signals a significant escalation in diplomatic strain between the U.S. and Mexico over immigration enforcement standards.
This marks a rare instance of a foreign leader formally seeking criminal charges against U.S. immigration agents for domestic operations.
